Overview

usd-core is a Pixar's Universal Scene Description

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free. Affected versions of the usd-core package are vulnerable to Use-After-Free due to unsynchronised destruction of Sdf_PrimPathNode objects in the Sdf_PathNode module that permits access to freed memory. The pxr/usd/sdf/path.cpp code path involving Sdf_PrimPathNode::~Sdf_PrimPathNode can be exercised concurrently, creating a race in which one thread frees a node while another continues to reference it, as evidenced by crashes observed across OpenUSD tools such as sdfdump, usdtree, usdcat, and sdffilter.
